I am wanting to get any feedback from anyone who has actually fitted spacers to there estate...

The best option I have found is the H&R Trak+ spacers, these spacers bolt onto the hub and then you use your original wheel bolts to bolt the wheel onto the spacer, this way you get to keep all your original bolts, including the locking wheel bolt.

The cheapest place I have found is Larkspeed, this company has been around for years, and I have always had a good service from them...

Not all of the Trak+ spacers bolt to the hub and allow the wheel to be fastened with the original bolts, but those particular ones do because they are thick enough (20mm) to allow that. Trak+ seem to be anodised.

The 8 and 10mm spacers would still be bolted through using a longer bolt. Would 20mm be a bit much? If the wheels are ET51, they'll be ET31 equivalent with a 20mm spacer and that sounds like it might be a bit wide.

Yeah, sorry my post seem to hit a glitch for some reason with no punctuation and most of it missing?...

 

I know that anything below 20mm is a bolt through option, and 15mm rear and 10mm front might be best, but i was wanting a bit of feed back from anyone who actually had this fitted?...

 

I think I shall have to drop the wheel off and use some universal spacers I have to give me an idea of what width I need, i shall then but the equivelant hubcentric spacers.

 

It's a pity 20mm is too wide as I like the idea of using the original bolts...

I presumes Stud Pattern and Centre Bore are the same as the Mk2 Octavia vRS?, as most sites only have spacers listed for them?...

You'd hope so, given that the centre caps fit the old wheels I'd say the centre bore is the same. I also doubt Skoda will have changed from 5x112.

In answer to SteveWCombivRS........

I've fitted 15mm to rear & 10mm to front on mine (5 dr)

The pcd & centre bore are same as mk2 vrs - 5 x 112 pcd, 57.1mm c/bore

Makes the car sit just nice, more like the mk2 facelift.

I had to buy extended bolts & new longer locking nuts. The nut covers fit the new bolts well (17mm) but the new locking bolts are larger diameter but I managed to find a 19mm grey cover which fits perfect & matches the skoda ones.

If you need any pics/links etc. please message me.

Cheers,
